Chair Safety The benefits of chair inspections: Falls from defective or collapsing chairs and the resulting claims are commonly overlooked sources of injury and loss. These injuries can be serious, and claims can occur against businesses, restaurants, hotels and other organizations and settings. A simple inspection program can prevent needless injuries and claims.
Chair Safety Steps to assuring chair safety: When purchasing chairs, obtain the manufacturer s inspection recommendations and establish a checklist. Follow the inspection frequency recommendations and design limitations. Assure that chairs are used solely for their intended purpose. For example, do not use a chair as a work stool. All employees must be trained on the chair inspection program, and they must be aware of any potential issues with the chairs, such as cracks in the chair legs. Track and document completed inspections using the Training TrackTMapplication in the Risk Management Center.
Chair Safety Inspection process: In high-use areas such as restaurants, conference centers, etc., inspect all chairs on a daily basis and always before peak service periods. If a chair is defective or suspect in any way, immediately remove it from service. Have the chair either repaired or discarded. Inspect chairs daily that are stored outside in sunlight or near water, such as chairs next to swimming pools and hot tubs.
Chair Safety Chair inspection checklist: Based on manufacturer requirements, establish a chair inspection program. Document all results, and track the frequency for performing these inspections using the Training TrackTM application in the Risk Management Center. According to best practices, the chair inspection should consider the following points: CHAIR INSPECTION QUESTIONS Yes No Corrective Action Do the chairs appear to be in good condition? Are they properly adjusted for their correct use? Are the legs securely fastened? Are the backs and arms securely fastened? If there are welds, are they completely sealed and crack free? Will pivoting the chairs likely pinch fingers? Are chairs wobble-free? Are there any chairs more than two years old? If so, inspect them more frequently and consider budgeting for new ones. Are chairs properly cleaned on a regular basis? Are all fasteners tight and strong? Has there been a manufacturer s recall on the chair?
Chair Safety Welds: If chairs have welds, assure that they are sound, without cracks, rust or voids. Assure that all welds on all sides of the chair are inspected thoroughly.
Chair Safety Base and legs: Inspect the base, legs and other high-stress areas of the chair for signs of wear, cracks and other stresses. Assure that all maintenance , including lubrication, is done to manufacturer specifications.
Summary Inspecting chairs will reduce injuries and claims. Develop an inventory of all chairs, chair uses, manufacturers and support information. Implement a preventive maintenance program. Implement an effective risk mitigation focused program for safety, which includes training employees. Use the Training TrackTM application in the Risk Management Center to assure compliance. An effective chair inspection program will prevent injuries and claims.
